I think you're right about it being from Wheelock, but it's actually my brother who is trying to figure it out. He's not in school, just a leisure time language buff who recently got into Latin. He says the dictionary and reference tools he has didn't quite clarify the final sentence, in particular the "obruere protuit" (I thought I should present the whole sentence and the one preceding for a bit of context). He asked me if I had any ideas based on my knowledge of some Romance languages and the one year of Latin I took in high school, but I could really only guess. I recommended he try the Internet, but he didn't get very far with that route--he's not very computer-experienced. So I figured I'd see what I could turn up.<br /><br />
